The Local Society Relations Committee is asking each local society to find and “adopt” a local library. Give them a subscription to American Rose, which includes the gift of Modern Roses 12 as a research tool for their readers!

Be creative in how you can share our love and knowledge of roses. For instance you can explain to the library manager that a rose book display during June would honor the rose – America’s Floral Emblem – and that your local rose society could bring bouquets of your garden-grown roses for the display in June. Also, ask the library manager to display your society literature, along with ARS membership literature.

If your library joins ARS at the $25 library ratewith this offer, they will receive American Rose for a full year and also receive the ARSModern Roses 12 book FREE, which normally costs $100.00. Your society would only need to pay the $15 cost of shipping and handling. And … the library would be included as a “Library Member” of ARS!

Fill out the subscription form, and send it to ARS with your society’s check for $40 (the subscription + shipping and handling for MR12). We hope you will join with us in this endeavor.

The latest edition of THE resource for exhibitors and judges includes more than 37,000 listings on more than 300 pages of approved exhibition names. Includes AARS list, ARS “E” list, Members’ Choice list and Miniature/Miniflora Hall of Fame list.
